it was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - cousin to Charles N'Zgobia, apparently.

So, the BBC won't let a piss poor presenter use a racist term in a private conversation, but it's perfectly okay to edit pieces to make white working class blokes appear racist - http://www.vimeo.com/3065190

..well observed.

Also, people must have seen this today but can't find anything on this forum about it...

"The BBC said it noted Clarkson's apology for the comments and would be taking no further action."
...so there must be a graph win the bbc boardroom which is used when these things happen to plot offensiveness on the x axis against presenter popularity/ ratings on the y axis. The more horizontal the line is, the more likely the sacking is instructed....but where do they draw the line?
